Beware, the game don't run without a NoCD patch.
I tried it with Wine 0.9.61 under openSUSE. It runs well except that the texts in the main menu are black instead of white (so they are hardly readable) and the game lags a little bit (but it remains very playable).
Please test it and report here your experience.
Bye
